Microcystin are a class of hepatotoxins produced by blue-green algae such as Microcystis aeruginosa. Microcystin-LR is the most common of the over 50 different congeners. Cyanobacteria can produce microcystin in large quantities during an algae bloom which then pose a major threat.
This kit can be used for Congener-Independent quantitative test of Microcystin in liquid samples such as drinking, ambient and waste water and algal cultures.
Additional Quality Control, Calibration Verification, and Spiking Solution materials can be obtained separately in optional Supplemental Pack for Method 546 (catalog # EL2024-Q).

Principle
Biological samples are first lysed and homogenized in a highly denaturing guanidine isothiocyanate-containing buffer, which immediately inactivates DNases and RNases to ensure isolation of intact DNA and RNA. The lysate is then passed through a Mini spin column. This column, in combination with the high-salt buffer, allows selective and efficient binding of genomic DNA. Flow-through from the column is digested by Proteinase K in the presence of ethanol. This optimized digestion, together with the subsequent addition of further ethanol, allows appropriate binding of total RNA, including miRNA, to the column. Contaminants are efficiently washed away and high-quality RNA is eluted.
Advantages
High quality – one step RNA extraction reagent combined with silica gel column can obtain the highest concentration
Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes
High applicability – samples including animals, plants, bacteria, cells, etc.
High concentration – efficiently remove macromolecular RNA, enrich small RNA and improve sensitivity
Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction and no use of Trizol reagent

Storage and Stability
Proteinase K should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.

Product Info
Description
ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcription Kit II is a complete, efficient and convenient kit to synthesize high quality first strand cDNA. This kit contains ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcriptase, which is able to synthesize the first strand cDNA at 37~50°C. The ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcriptase is a recombinant Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase, which is designed to reduce RNase H activity and create better thermal stability. This kit also contains RNAok™ RNase Inhibitor, which is active against RNase A, RNase B, and RNase C. This product is supplied with optimized RT Buffer and Oligo (dT)/Random Primer Mix for highly efficient synthesis of short chain cDNA suitable for real-time PCR.
Features
Contains all components for reverse transcription
High yield
Thermostable, up to 50°C
Reduced RNase H ribonuclease activity
Suitable for real-time PCR
Application
Generation of first strand cDNA from total RNA or mRNA.
Suitable for generating cDNA from RNA with strong secondary structure which can be reduced at temperature up to 50°C.
Storage
-20°C for 24 months
